I would think, of all the saxophones, the baritone would be the most logical instrument if anybody was adding a voice to the symphony orchestra.

You start way down on a low B flat on the tuba and you have a chromatic scale; you can match the colours all the way up, till you get to the top of the trumpet.

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing

So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone

Life on the road is murder. It's as though life begins and ends when you have your horn in your mouth.

Actually, it is a fact that I've been doing more writing than playing in recent years.

Then, of course, I played alto and tenor, wherever there were jobs.
